yeah I would assume this to be true
That said.... outside of WiiU games I imagine EVERYTHING else can be emulated and offered Digitally on the new store

Except for Wii U.
Well, the GameCube was, for quite a while, their worst sellinh console by millions of units and even selling much better with the Wii, which had a similar architecture, they did only a bunch of ports and called it a day. Why this time it would be different?

Yep, port or it's not hitting at launch. I wonder if it'll be like one of those GOTY editions. Would feel a little too soon for Nintendo though.

Didnt do gangbusters but Smash most certainly made them some money
So at launch:
Smash Bros 4 NX (Ultimate Edition with all dlcs)
Zelda NX (upgraded wii u port)
Pikmin 4
looks like a strong launch window is being prepared. as not many people have the wii u they can upgrade the games and re-release them to beef up the lineup at launch and over the first 2 years.

It definitely sold Wii Us, but many people bought the system early on because they knew Smash was coming. I know I'm one of those people.

fyi, the DEA is on the way to your place to seize what I assume must be massive quantities of crack.
*Neiteio appears*
I guess so, yeah. My point though was that I don't think this indicates them killing off BC, because you can play TP on your Wii U right now if you wanted.

Considering port info is the only stuff that leaked I would expect a few original titles to be ready for launch as well

No. New ideas, new games. Most of the high profile Wii U games sold a lot as is despite its low install base. I also highly doubt Xenoblade X for example would sell more if it was on a new console that's still not guaranteed for success.
Hopefully. Hard to have progress when your console must support last gen, too. Also, if it's physical hardware inside, it means console is more expensive. ALSO, if it's wii u or 3DS backward compatible, it needs a second screen or a gamepad, which also limits forward progress or makes the console more expensive.
Backwards compatibility would cost them (and therefore US) more money. Also, if they can just re-sell old games they can make more money. ALSO, if they offer benefits to wii u/3ds owners who already purchased the games to get free or severely discounted versions, they can potentially entice a ton of NX console purchases. I know I'm planning on getting a vita because (thanks to PS+) I have like 30+ games for it already, even though I dont own the system. If all VC/Ported games come free or really cheap to existing consumers, it can offer a ton of incentive for old customers to buy it.
This whole generation is the generation of remasters. NX would just be following the trend.

Finally the NX info is coming.
Lets hope it will be an enhanced port and not a watered down version because of some quirky gimmick that NX brings.

Half-Life 3 NX exclusive.
Can't wait to see what the NX is all about at E3.

From Bandai Namco, isn't it safe to expect things like Tekken and Tales will be coming to NX?
I'm hoping for a lot of Wii U ports as a way to pad the line-up. More people would get to play the games, and we wouldn't have cheap spin-offs nobody wants. I feel like Splatoon will get a sequel on NX down the line, rather than a port.

Relax
We will get both. You are in denial if you think WiiU software isnt coming over
Its life was short, install base was low. Thats a lot of undermilked software investment
Its gonna happen man

Making levels without the gamepad would be absolute trash. It's possible in the same way that playing San Andreas on a smartphone is possible.
Well, duh.
Of course if they're making ports they are gonna have to modify the controls. Point is there are Wii U games that would flat out not work without it. TW101, Mario Maker, etc.

It still sold around 4 million copies on the Wii U version.

Im sure they can figure it out
Yup
Im pretty confident. Its not going to be EVERYTHING
Also its not always going to be straight ports either
They have been treating games as platforms. Mario Maker, Mario Kart, Splatoon... These are updated and moldable games
Expect expanded content, upgrades, function changes. Whatever you would expect would be logical

Smash 4 Director's Cut with Wolf, Ice Climbers and two new comers, all DLC fully integrated into events and stuff, along with a new, better organized menu and stages from the 3DS would get me to buy a NX on launch day.
pikmin is new and Zelda will be new but cross-gen. I'm sure they will have some other new games but might not have big franchises at launch depending on when they started development. I have a feeling we will see the NX handheld by late summer.

I would buy an NX day one if a smash 4 port is there at launch. I really hope it would support the GCN adapter, otherwise it's a no go.
May have missed it, but is that confirmed?
Would have thought 3 put them off forever.

No big surprise - doing something like this would be an easy way to give the NX a good launch title. I hope it includes the 3DS stages as well as a few newcomers - Inklings would be an obvious one if they can work out the gameplay. As would
.

Yes, Pikmin 4 was confirmed, to most people's surprise. No word on console, but NX is an obvious extrapolation.
Good of Nintendo to be building a close relationship with a third party, but I'm not sure what Namco games I'd want aside from Xenoverse and maybe something Soul Calibur.
I also hope that Smash NX isn't just a straight port, not even a port that combines 3DS and Wii U content. Like, throw a new Smash Run stage in there or something. Make a Smash Tour option that isn't so zany. Give us the character-as-stock game from the end of Smash Tour, but as a regular Smash mode. Stuff like that.

It's true, though. Porting successful games doesn't really hurt image, especially if many people missed out because they don't own a Wii U.
Miyamoto said it was "very close to completion" back in July.

I don't know why people think Smash has to be a port, Smash U came out in November 2014, if they started development shortly after that and built it directly off of Smash U, even reusing most of the assets, they could totally have a new game ready for holiday 2016. Having the engine, core gameplay, assets and animation from Smash U could cut down on dev time dramatically.

Miyamoto said that Pikmin 4 was apparently near completion so it is possible it might either be an NX launch title or a cross gen title.
That kind of transition would be better saved for Smash 5.
But they were working on DLC for Smash 4.

Actually. There you go guys Melee HD. Two years after the release of Smash 4 Just like the 64 to Melee. How could I not see this coming.
Oh Sakurai you sneaking bastard.
By the way I'm joking.
